Redirect Loop errors

If your domain is not correctly configured, you may encounter an error like the following:

In Firefox:

Redirect Loop

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

  • Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?
  • NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.

In Chrome:

This webpage has a redirect loop

The webpage at http://www.example.org/ has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Reload this webpage later.
  • Learn more about this problem.

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

The most frequent causes of this situation are described below.

A web forwarding entry that redirects an address to itself

Verify the domain's web forwarding entries to make sure none of them would result in a loop.

For example, let's say you add a web forwarding entry on the domain example.com.

If you enter www for the subdomain and www.example.com for the forwarding address, the result will be that www.example.com redirects to www.example.com, creating a redirect loop.

How to fix it

Delete the web forwarding entry causing the loop, and see www if you're having trouble getting your domain to work with (or without) www.
